New heirlooms for new heirs

These children’s chairs were made for two new grandsons. They are the same patterns and dimensions as other I have posted previously.The Windsor is basswood (seat) and red elm turnings. The ladderback is maple with a woven seat of Red Elm bark.

That is such a refreshing change, to see painted woodPainting can really bring out the design of the chair andenhance the joint structure.I paint all my production prototypes as it means that Ican see the design without the wood.Oops! The chairs look awesome.Jamie
